Zhang Hanqing spent a month visiting various factories and shipyards. Machinery manufacturing and shipyards were the main focus, followed by steel smelting factories.
After one round, the harvest was much greater than in Braid Country. Xiaomi was already eager to try, but Zhang Hanqing did not let it develop anything. This year's research and development was definitely reserved for the engine.
Looking at the time, it was a little tight. After all, he was preparing to enter the military academy next year, so they were divided into two groups. His mother brought her servant girls and ten bodyguards to La. Zhang Hanqing decided to buy land at the foot of Beverly Hills to build a large manor. At this time, it had not become a wealthy area.
Meanwhile, he brought Xi Shun, Michael Smith, and ten bodyguards to East Texas to buy the largest oil field in the Bald Eagle Country. At this time, it had not been discovered yet!
As the train moved forward, Zhang Hanqing sometimes even wanted Xiaomi to develop a steam engine to increase the speed of the train.
However, it was still a year before they could accumulate enough energy to conduct research and development. Xiaomi could also accumulate energy, but it would be too wasteful. It was difficult for him to estimate the time it would take for Xiaomi to accumulate energy.
……
At this moment, the price of land was extremely cheap.
This was Zhang Hanqing's goal. The current land price was less than 100 Eagle Blades, and he could buy a square kilometer of land.
There were very few residents here, so Zhang Hanqing only needed to give them some simple compensation!
Michael Smith accepted the mission. He went to the state government to purchase land and hire an oil exploration team.
As the area he wanted to buy was large enough, the state government offered a very low price. He could buy a square kilometer of land for just 100 Eagle Knives. He only spent 56000 Eagle Knives on the entire area.
It was too cheap. However, this was the policy of the Bald Eagle Kingdom. When they first developed the western region, as long as they went to settle down, they would give 160 acres of land. This was so much for one person.
What Zhang Hanqing bought were all wild lands. The biggest resource here was trees, which were the least valuable things in this era.
At this time, the entire country's population was only about 70 million. In addition to being an industrial country, its population was concentrated in the coastal areas. The long coastline was the most populated.
In fact, 100 Eagle Blades was already expensive because the person who bought the land was from Braid Country. The state government even specially provided the price!
Michael Smith felt that he had failed miserably. He had made his boss spend more money, but Zhang Hanqing did not care.
Get Michael Smith to immediately start looking for manpower and rent equipment to look for oil!
Michael Smith didn't quite understand his boss's thoughts. Why would he buy such vast land to search for oil?
Is there oil here?
Michael Smith was even more confused. If they really discovered oil, wouldn't that be equivalent to informing the other party?
As such, Michael Smith had no choice but to do as he was told. John Rockefeller Jr. soon found out about it, and he found it very strange.
This nine-year-old child from Braid Kingdom actually bought such a huge piece of land to search for oil and rented a team and equipment from his company?
So he came to see his father, John Rockefeller.
John Rockefeller was also a proud man who named his son after himself. He thought that he must be his son's idol and that his son would be proud of him.
"Did you lend it to him?" John Rockefeller asked his son.
John Junior nodded and said,"Yes, why not?"”
"Very good. If they discover oil, then you can go and talk to them yourself. Let's see what kind of surprise this child can bring us.”John Senior said.
John Junior didn't say anything. In fact, he was still a little nervous because his father would leave him a huge fortune in the future. He was always in fear and trepidation.
John Senior also knew this. Seeing that John Junior was silent, he said again,""Deal with it well. If you handle it well, then you have the ability to take over everything for me in the future.”
"I understand, Father!"
"But this is very interesting. This child came to our country and went straight to Texas to buy land. How can he be so sure that there is oil here?”
"Do you suspect anything?"
"No, Citicorp has given us enough information. There's no need to doubt anything! If he had any doubts, it would be better to say that he was God's child!”
It turned out that John Junior had already investigated and obtained specific information about Zhang Hanqing through Citibank. This was a magical child.
"I've also read his information. It's indeed unbelievable. He's too outstanding and mature!”
"Yes, he earned so much just from rubber stocks. He's indeed amazing. Aren't you worried about the future?”John Senior turned to look at his son." Then if he discovers oil this time, you can become friends with him. That way, you won't have to worry about the future.”
"This…"
"Yes, sir!"
This was his intention to rent personnel and equipment from Standard Company, to cooperate with the Rockefeller family!
The prerequisite for cooperation was the discovery of oil. With that, the foundation for cooperation between the two sides was established. Next, it depended on how much reserves there were and how the two sides would cooperate.
